IN BLACK
By Bridges Smith.
Not in years, if ever, have we seen or read anything which approaches the stories in this book for real, true depiction of character of the Southern darkey of the present day. They are full of humor and entertainment, and absolutely true to life both as to the incidents related, and the language used. The latter is so true, in fact, that our compositor who set the type for the book, said that he had never before seen anything like the diction and spelling.
The author held for some years the position of City Clerk in the Mayor's Office of the City of Macon, Georgia, where opportunities were presented for full and complete observation of the people in the world of which he writes.
The stories originally appeared in the "Macon Daily Telegraph," but the demand for them in book form was so great that we have now issued them in permanent binding.
The book contains 320 pages with illustrations, and is bound in paper covers with attractive and appropriate cover design. Retail price, 25 cents. For sale by booksellers and newsdealers everywhere, or sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of price.
